Whatever your reasons for staying sober, you shouldn't have to give up delicious-tasting wine!

Giesen starts by creating premium, full-strength Merlot wine, with fruit from Hawke's Bay. Then uses innovative spinning cone technology to gently distill the wine into three layers: aroma, alcohol, and the body of the wine.

The delicate aroma is collected and recombined with the body of the wine, adding just a touch of premium grape juice to produce our final blend: a refreshing, delicious 0% Merlot wine with low calories.

Expect delicate aromas of crushed blackberry and wild herbs in this alcohol-removed Merlot. Crushed red berries and plum offset by toasted oak on the palate combine to give a light and refreshing option with classic structure and fine, powdery tannins on the finish.

It’s the structure and fine tannin in this wine that makes it a great choice with food – try it with red meats or tapas. Or because of the wonderful lightness, it’s a refreshing wine choice for sunny afternoons.

And the added bonus…there are only 23 calories per 125ml serving (or 18 calories per 100ml glass) – 70% less calories than a full strength 12.5% alcohol/volume wine!
